London• Competition to sense of
community• Home students
overwhelmed by it as well• LCF - six sites• Dispersal puts more
pressure on virtual• Living situations, isolation,
expense
• NUS / UKCISA - awards go to campuses
Johan Homann, Aerial Map of London (1730)

ISHE and ‘induction’
‘giving information’
• Enduring problem - information given to students but
• In bulk - unable to process, exhausting, overwhelming
• Do not understand significance at time
• Hard to find information
what kind of information
• Information - one off (registering with police, what is a hem) v what they need to return to (study support, student services)
• Stage information• Repeat with intelligent
amplification• Make interactive• Required reading• Involve peer learningAlbert Herbert, Seeking Treasure Blindfold (1999)
Runway
question of language
• English is not one thing and no correspondence between written and spoken
• bureaucratic, bespoke to UAL, UK - ISHE, course handbooks, eg 'assessment'
• Academic - ISHE• Research, analysis, independent
learning - most difficult to adjust to• Subject based - opportunity for
pooling and showcasing• Pop culture – interactions
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Tower of Babel [detail] (1563)
prospects• Staff clarity around stages, good
practice, opportunities• Interactivity• Runway• Beautiful and compelling design• Memorable events• Small things - dinners• Difficult things - group work - how
set up intercultural communication• Pictures of people – make visual• Make personal• Presessional – H/OS interactions• Institution and SU• Students involved in induction
